The 26.2-mile race runs from Dodger Stadium to
Santa Monica. Major streets along the marathon’s path that to be
blocked off during the event include Sunset Boulevard (in downtown, Echo
Park and West Hollywood), Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Santa
Monica Boulevard (in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and West L.A.), and
San Vicente Boulevard in Santa Monica. Caltrans also planned to close some freeway offramps.

The first closures were set to start near the stadium and lift on a rolling basis over the course of the day, starting at 9 a.m.
on the eastern end of the route and ending late in the afternoon closer
to the finish line. Some 101, 110 and 405 freeway entrance and exit
ramps were also to be closed during the race.

The marathon began at 6:55 a.m. for racers in wheelchairs, 7 a.m.
for racers with hand cycles and 7:25 a.m. for most other participants.

The city Department of Transportation said it will strictly enforce a
restricted, no-parking policy for the marathon during listed times.
Vehicles that have not been moved will be cited and impounded at police garages.
